A list of tools for floral designing & How to prepare floral foam and the containers.
Waterproof tape is an all-purpose method for holding either soaked or dried foam in place. It comes in three colors: white, green and clear. The tape is waterproof and pressure sensitive. Once adhered to a dry surface, it will remain firm and in place even when exposed to moisture. It sticks on pottery, metal, plastic, wood, glass, ceramics... almost anything.
Waterproof clay is the designers’ tool for positioning candles and figurines. It will also anchor dry materials like anchor pins to each other or to vases; frogs to bases, dry foam to bases etc. It is waterproof and heat proof; can assist in positioning and holding ribbons and tissue, and will hold fruit in place for cornucopia displays. Make sure the surface is absolutely dry and free of dust or the clay won’t stick.

Pan melt glue pot is a small electric pan, or glue skillet that you can either melt small pellets or (if it comes with an attachment) broken glue sticks at a low temperature. Use it for placing your foam by waiting until the glue is melted, but not hot, dip the four corners of the floral foam into the glue, and push it onto the bottom of the container. Pan melt glue is also used to secure the ends of silk flowers in foam when making large arrangements. Dip the ends of the flower stems into the pan glue before inserting into the floral foam.
Hot glue gun and glue sticks may be used instead of pan melt glue pellets. They come in high and low temperature styles and in various sizes.
Floral stem tape, a strong stretchable tape adheres to itself without sticking to your fingers. It is the ideal way to lengthen and strengthen stems. Use to create corsages, bouquets, headpieces, cascades, nosegays or boutonnieres. As the tape is stretched, the adhesive material is activated. Stretch the material as you wrap it around fresh, dried or silk flower stems.
